yep, it works! tnx a bunch!
Actually, don’t delete CS5 though since the Beta will expire in about 60 days and the final versions release date hasn’t been announced yet.
hi i downloaded the templates , okay will it go automatically to photoshop , i have the trial version of cs6 , will it works just like this?
I am still using that old page layout. How are you people claiming to be forced to change to the new one?
I’ve been looking for a nice and easy way to do this for almost two weeks now and yours it’s by far the best tutorial I’ve found. Simple even for beginners and straight to the point. Thanks a lot, man, you have no idea how you helped me.
If I give a picture of me for you, can you make a cool timeline cover for me? please
Yes, I made it in Photoshop CS6 so you’ll be able to open it in there.
from facebook: “Please choose an image that’s at least 399 pixel wide” so this means that this will not work anymore?
For the cover picture or profile picture?
Ok, I see. Weird since the cover photo is 815px wide unless they mean height. I’m looking into it.
851*
Seems like saving it as a JPG works.
Save as a JPEG if you’re getting a message that says, “Please choose an image that’s at least 399 pixels wide”. Seems like there’s a bug with PNGs on Facebook right now.
BTW Facebook has increased the size of profile photos to 160 x 160 on the timeline cover.
Without the extra it’s 160 x 113
Ok, I think they’ll be making the fan page profile pics 160 x 160 on April 26 too. I’ll have to see if this messes with the templates. Did it mess up for you since they changed the size?
Yea, if you want my template to experiment with I’ll be happy to give it to you
Ok, I think it’s fixed. If you want, download the profile template again and try it out. Let me know if everything aligns.
Looks like Facebook updated the sizes for Profile Pictures. I’ve already updated the template so if you need to, download it again. It’ll have the new dimensions. Appeared to work fine on my end but if you guys have problems let me know. Thanks!
It won’t re-direct me to the ZIP file
Ok, see if it works. I changed them back to PSD downloads.
Super cool! Thanks
thanks for your guide, bro.. so cool..
if u dislike you r fucker…
Nice work Dude. Thank you so much. Thumbs up
Facebook updated their Fan Page profile pictures, I’ve updated the template accordingly
